Třebovice is a borough and municipal part of the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. It is situated in the north-central part of the city, on the right bank of the Opava River. Originally a separate municipality, it was incorporated into Ostrava in 1958, as a part of the Poruba borough. On 24 November 1990, it was separated from Poruba and became one of the 23 self-governing boroughs of Ostrava.[2] The confluence of the Opava and Oder rivers is located in the borough, on the border with Hošťálkovice.[3]

Etymology

The name Třebovice is presumably derived from the Old Czech verb třiebiti, which means 'to clear the forest'.[4]
